Hi.

I’m considering getting a Fast Charger, for to charge these three devices, iPhone 8, iPhone X and also iPad Pro 12.9 inch second generation.

I see on Apple’s website that there are three different versions of the USB-C Power Adapter, 87W, 61W, 29W.

I was wondering will the higher watt power adapters charge the devices I have mentioned, faster, or is there a limit on some of the devices that I have mentioned, that will mean that the higher watt adapters won’t make any difference to their charging time?

Thanks.
 
I have the 29w USB-C adapter & USB-C to lightning cable for my iPad Pro. This was the only recommended adapter on Apple's website for those that wanted to fast-charge.
 
Get the 29w charger. That’s what I have. There isn’t much difference from 29 to 87.
 
Thanks very much for the help. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to watts and what wattage some devices can accept. Thanks again :)
